From the manufacturing districts the accounts d tir iog the past week represent that business in mee t departments has been very dull.

The hosiery and la ce trades o f L e i ces t er an d N o tti ng h am h a ve con tinued without m9.terial change; while in the hard thetricts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and \Vol l',etharnpton, th er e has been in some departments a 6 "Oht improvement.

MARKETS--This Day, MARK-LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday ruled quiet, but no quotable change took place in prices compared with the previous week. For good and fine malting barley there was a steady demand, at full quo tations ; other articles, however, were in limited request, at late rates. Advices from New York state that the amount of busi ness doing in breadstuffs for export is very moderate. On the Continent the corn trade generally is quiet. But moderate supplies of English produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 27,745 qrs of wheat, 2,937 barley, 63,676 oats, 12 beans. 2.412 peas, 27 tares, 947 linseed, 450 sundry seeds, 50 sacks and 7,495 barrels of fl ,ur. The fresh arrivals of home-grown wheat to this morning's market were ve y moeerate. Although there was a tend ency to improvement in the cvunlry markets on Saturday, shm-Gd no disposition to purchase extensive'y, and sales both in red and white qualities progressed slowly, at the rates current on Monday last. Nearly the whole of the produce was of fine quality, and the samples, as a rule, were received in excellent condition. The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was tolerably large, The amount of business transacted both in American and Continental descriptions was very modarate, Holders, however, were firm in their demands, and last Monday's currency was supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderato request, at late rates. There was a moderate supply of English and foreign barley on the stands. The bulk, however, was of middling and interior quality, consequently, fine samples— owing to their scarcity—changed hands at full quotations. Middling and inferior barley, however, was very dull, and sold at irregular prices. The malt trade was very dull, at the recent fall in the quotations. The market was moderately supplied with English Scotch, and Irish oats, and the show of foreign produce ore the stands was large. In nearly all descriptions a full ave rage business was transacted. Russian produce commanded an advance in price of 6d per quarter, whilst other qualities changed hands at very full prices, With beans the market was but moderately supplied; nevertheless, the trade was dull, and the quotations further declined is per quarter. Peas were in limited supply, and all descriptions sup p or' ed previous ral The flour trade was rather quiet. A moderate business however, was transacted, and prices ruled tolerably firm.

There was a large supply of foreign boasts and sheep on sale here to-day, in somewhat improved condition. On the whole a fair average business was transacted in most breeds at full prices. _ The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts, as well as from Ireland, were moderately good. Those from Scotland, however, were limited. The quality and condition of the supply was superior to several previous weeks, and the beef trade ruled steady, at full prices. The best Scots and crosses realised 5a 4d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,700 short horns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 903 various breeds ; from Scotland, 9 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 500 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was on the increase. The condition of the stock having improved, there was less activity in the mutton trade, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. The general top figure for Downs and half-breds was 5a Gd per 81bs. There were some really good Leicesters, Lin coins, and Kents on offer. We were scantily supplied with calves, which moved off steadily, at Thursday's advance in the quotations of 4s per bibs. Prices ranged from 4s 4d to 58 4d per Sibs. Prime small pigs were in request, at lull prices ; but large pork was heavy, on former terms. The foreign pigs are coming to hand in fair condition.: tion.

I told her she might serve the others first, and she went into the parlour, and a woman followed her, and was served with two glasses of rum, which was paid for in copper money. She next served a young man with two glasses of gin, for which he paid sd. I had two glasses of rum, for which• I paid 6d. I went again yesterday morning, a little after ten, and saw a wo man served with a glass of gin, and two men with two glasses of gin, for which they paid 51. I was served with one glass of gin. Prisoner—You did not have two glasses of rum. Shrives—Not yesterday, but the previous Sunday. Yes terday I had a glass of gin. Priaoner—He came in yesterday with a young man, and thy said they were ill, and had a glass each. It had been left with her by a lodger. Mr Scott, Supervisor of Excise —The prisoner has no licence. Inspector James Walker—Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, accompanied by Butcher 137 C, I welt to 8, Hus band-street, a clothes shop kept by the prisoner. On entering the shop the prisoner had a small glass in her haul. .id, " Well, Mrs Snell, you are at your old games again." She replied, " Whatever do you mean." I said, " Selling gin ;" and she said, " Oh, dear me, I'm doing no such thing." I took the glass from her hand, and asked her what it had contained, and she said, " Oh, only a drop of gin," I then told her that I had a warrant for her appre hension. On search 7 ng the place I found a bottle of gin, and another with some tura in it. 1 then took her to the station-Louse, and while taking the charge I missed her from the dock, and saw her placing another bottle con taining spirits under one of the seats. Butcher, 137 C—l went yesterday, accompanied by the inspeotor, to the prisoner's slap') in Husband-street, and found in the cupboard several empty bottles, all of which had contained spirits, and one bottle with some run in it. There was also a stone bottle with some beer in it, and some measures which sruelt of beer. The prisoner (who is about 7J years of age) said—The rum was brought in by one of my lodgers who had a bad cold. Tho gin was given to her on Friday, as it was her birthday, and she was going to put some cold water and camphor with it, as she was told it was good for the rheu matism, (Laughter.) Inspector Walker—On tho 11th of February, 1861, the, prisoner was charged with a similar offence, before the late Mr Bcadon, and fined £25, or three months' imprisonment. /slr.Tyrwhitt---Such practices are very hard upon pub linens, who have to pay for their licenses and who have very heavy expenses. The law is very stringent in such cases. I shall find you £5O, or three calendar months in default. I could have fined you £lOO. The Roman Discovery. A correspondent of the Athenceum gives the fol lowing account of the recent discovery at Rome : Righetti, a wealthy commoner of this city, has lately purchased an old palace for an old song, being in one of the dirtiest parts of Rome, called the Biscione ; it is close to the Piazza Campo dui Fiori, and not far from the Farnese Palace. Exten sive repairs were indispensable, for the building was in a most rickety state, and, on setting people to work to dig for a foundation, they came upon a pavement composed of large slabs of that marble called Porta Santa, which is dull, veined marble, of redeli. , h hue, which comes from the Island of lasue, in the Atchipelage, and is properly called " Mannar J.ItStUFC 1 it is however, better known by its modern name, which it derives fiord its form ing the j itnb3 of the jubilee door at St. Peter's. This pavement was found 30 feet below the present level of this part of Rome; and here likewise they came upon a massive wall, near which they found a piece of building somewhat resembling a Noah's Ark without the boat : the sides were of brick and the roof was formed cf large blocks of travertine resting upon these walls, and uniting with bevelled edges at the top (" rigging' as they call it i❑ Scot , . land). There were two gable ends, etch formed of one huge block of travertine ; on several of the blocks are seen, large and well cut, the letters F C S, which, as yet, the arcl walogists here cannot ex plain. Great difficulty was encountered in conse quence of the hole continually filling with water, and preventing the work going on ; but a steam engine was procured to work the pumps, which are now plied night and day. Oa opening the ark it was found to contain a magnificent gilt bronze statue of a youthful Hercules, 14 feet high, but lying on his back, or, as the Romans graphically describe it, " pilDza per aria." In art this statue equals the finest that ever Greece produced, and the careful manner in which it has been hidden and the means taken to protect it argue that its value was known and appreciated. I suspect it must have been hidden in the fourth century to prevent its being carried off to Byzan tium by the son of Constantine, who made off with every thing he could lay his hands on in the shape of works of art, to enrich and adorn the city which thenceforward was to bear their imperial name. It is interesting to know that the coins found in and about the statue were those of Domitian, Decius, and Maximinius, commonly styled the Herculean. There were likewise coins of the Lower Empire. Over the gilding, which is very thick and bright (and the patina of which is still perfect) is a rough calcareous incrustation, which must be carefully re moved before the beauty of the statue can be tho roughly enjoyed. It was found imbedded in marble chips, such as form the sweepings of a sculptor's studio, and also wedged in by masses of architectu ral fragments. Inside the figure was found a very pretty little Tamale head, sculptured in Parian marble. The back hair is gathered up in a net, much in the style as worn by ladies in the present day, and which fashion prevailed from the style of Heliogabalus down to Constantine, as we see by re ferring to other statues and busts. The period of art to which this little bust belongs is that of Con stantine, and therefore inferior. Oa the first indications of this discovery much speculation arose as to whether it were equestrian or not, and whether it might not prove to be a por trait statue of Pompey the Great, since the place where they are excavating is on the site of Pom pey's Theatre, which was the first ever made of stone in Rome; and that its size was considerable is known from the fact that it accommodated 20,000 spectators. These speculations as to what it is are now pretty well at rest, as the statue speaks for itself; at the same time, as there is a deal of that incrustation above mentioned adhering to the fea tures, there are some who insist that it is a portrait of Domitian represented as Hercules. It has been raised to within 10 feet of the surface, and men are busy exploring, in the hope of finding one of the feet, which is missing. The club has come up in three pieces, and the lion's akin, which has hung over the shoulder (similar to that of the Theban Hercules in the Vatican), and which has evidently been recast separately, is especially interesting to us moderns, as showing the mode in which the ancients executed their work of costing. Hercules being the tutelary deity of Pompey the Great, it was natural that his image should bE chosen to adorn the building he erected. As a work of art this statue is far superior to that found in the Forum Boarium, which is also gilt bronze, and is now in the Capitol. It has evidently been exe cuted by artists in the time of the Empire, and stood in the Temple of Hercules in the Forum. The beautiful marble statue of Hercules bearing Tele phus, which adorns the " Pio Clementino" in the Vatican, was found in the Campo dei Fiori and placed where it now stands by Julius 11. It should be remembered that the noblest fragments of an tiquity existing was presented by that same Pon• tiff to the Vatican ; it is a portion of a Hercules, and, if I am not mistaken, I have seen a drawing by Flaxman, in which he restores it from an ancient gem representing Hercules and Hebe. This frag ment was also found in the Campo dei Fiori (Pom pey's Theatre), and is known as the Torso of the Belvedere. THE EXPLOSION AT THE OLDFIELD COLLIERY. An inquest was held at Fenton, on Friday, on the body of the boy " Joe," who met his d ea th by an explosion of fire damp at the Oidfield Colli er y on Wedesday The real name of the deceased is Job Bartlett, and his age was stated to be between 16 and 17. After evidence as to the fact of the explosion had been given, Mr Wynne, overn ment Inspector of Mines, was exam i ne d , an d sta t e d that he examined the pit on Thursday. He found the workings perfectly clear of gas, but th e y con t a i ne d sca rcely any air. The ventilation was in the most miserable state he had ever seen a pit, with one exception. The air road was foul, and no means had been taken to cleanse it, except that the de ceased and another boy had just begun to clear one end. To his mind, it was perfectly clear that the deceased's life had been entirely sacrificed. If there had been any ventila tion with the clear works there were, there cou d not have b9en sufficient gas,to vitiate the quantity of air that ought to be passed along that air road. If there was gas suffi cient to fire there was not sufficient to very severely burn any ono, and if air bad been passed in any quantity it would have swept away the small quantity of damp which made its appearance, and the pit would have been perfectly safe. if the air had been good it would have carried away all the gas in the pit, but the ventilation was not sufficient to ventilate that room. There was not one-fifth the quan tity of air there ought to be, and not one-tenth the quantity which should be allowed. The jury found a verdict of accidental death, but recommended that the workings should be closely examined, and that it should be imperatively bind ing on those who had the, management of the pit that it should be kept properly and tff.ctively ventilated. The manager of the colliery, who was present, undertook that this recommendation should be attended to.—Birmingham Daily Post. NASTY PEOPLE !—The Lyons journals give parti• culars of a horse-flesh banquet that has just taken place in that city. A large number of amateurs assembled in the dining-room of one of the principal restaurants, and to them were served up no less than 11 dishes, all of horse beef. These were two soups, bouilli, horse ala mode, truffied sausages,:fried brains, lion a l'ltalienne, cauliflower au jus de elteval, cold horse pie, and other chevalino deli cacies. The fare was generally approved. Among the guests were merchants, manufacturers, professional men, j o urnalis , s,veterinary surgeons, and physicians—these last, it is added, were not numerous. Loss OF LIFE ON THE TIIAMES,—On Friday three men, named Oram, Clark, and Kent, all carpenters, n the employ of Mr M'Bride, of Deptford, had been out all day repairing some craf . , which was lying in the the river, and were returning home, when Oram, who was steering the boat, ran it between two barges, one of which was stationary, the other was proceeding down at rather a rapid rats; the concussion was so strong as t.) smash the boat, and all throe men were immediately im mersed. Oram and Clarke were reLeued and taken on board the barge, but Kent was drowned. The bulletin of the Paris Observatory gives the following as the atmospheric state of Europe yes terday—" A storm is at this moment descending from the high latitudes over the North of Russia, aril the wind blows strong from the N.W. at St. Petersburg. The observation of Thursday at Ha paranda, which reached us this morning, shows that the storm passed on that day north of the Gulf of Bothnia. Under the influence of that movement, the barometer has again risen on the German Ocean and on England. The bad weather which prevailed on '1 hursday on the South of France hes ex tended to the Mediterranean ; rain has fallen at Alicarzt, Ajiccio, Marseilles, and Cctte. The air is c niLr France, and the wind is inclining to , the b.:outli over li,:Lnd." SPORTING NOTES. THE CESAREWITCH. The races of last week threw no light on the great event to be decided to-morrow, with the exception of Mail Train and Gratitude meeting with increased support, and the firmness of Lady Ilylda in the marker after her easy defeat of East Lancashire in the Guineas. There will, in all pro bability, bs about 30 horses face the starter, to be selected from the following : Horse. age at lb Trainer. Blackdown Vermont .. , 3 8 4 T. Carter Despair Accident..

Thalestris Gratitude Lady Frances filly Wandering Minstrel Auricula Roly-poly .. Alabama .. 3 5 7 Gilbert Charmian .. Battaglia Speculation Blaakdown, who won the Goodwood Stakes as a three. year-old, heads the list, and if in anything like form is certainly not out of the fray; but he does not look as if he was wanted on the present occasion. His stable companion, Dr. Syntax, may also help to swell the field, but the opposition which set in against him last week seems to have settled his chance. Vermout and Miner are also probable starters. The latter may run to assist his stable companion, but he has not the ghost of a chance,as he is a greatly overrated horse. Despair, 5 years, Tat 121 b, is certainly not out of the race, and might run into a "situation," Weatherbow will represent Sir Joseph Hawley, but his previous performances have been so moderate, that I am disinclined to place much confidence in him. The old Brewer has been supported for the out side chance both by the public and his owner, in the expec tation that he may turn oat another Flash in the Pan. Those who trust him will find out their mistake when the numbers are hoisted. Ten Broeck has three engaged—viz., Canzonette, Myrtle, and Charmian. Ho is always to be feared for this race, and whichever he selects will be near winning, if not the ac`ual winner. The money market points to Charmian as likely to carry his colours. Mail Train is the Simon Pure of 'William Day's lot, and the money has been piled on as if the race was all over but shouting. No trainer makes fewer m'stakes. With such tackle in the stable to try his horses, he ought not to be left out in any lot to beat the field. The Calista colt will repre sent Baron Rothschild. No horse could be better, or more fit, and with such horses as Hipolyta and Evelina in the stable to try him with, he ought to hold safe all the three-year-olds. At all events the public are certain to get a good honest run for their money, which is more than can be said of nearly all the others engaged. Gratitude, a brown filly by Newminster, out of Charity, by Melbourne, has never yet won a race, although shoran five times last year. She was once highly thought of for the Oaks, but disappointed her party. She is now in fine con dition, and if she.cannot win with only bat on her back she ought to be turned out of tra ning and put in a cab. 'fhalesfris is one of the best bred horses in the race, and after her defeat of Early Purl, quite a rush was made to get on. That she can stay the distance admits of no doubt. The money is on, and she is sure to take a promi nent part in the encounter. Crisis has t;o much weight, and Planet will be more at home over a shorter coarse. Sus picion has been under a cloud for some time, bat has now resumed a more healthy appearance in the quotations. his running with Red Cap and Magnum Bonum at Lewes was no mean performance, and if he only goes fit to the post, it will give the favourites all their work to boat him. Cathe dral is the hope of John Osborne's stable, and is said to be batter than the Miner at even weights. He is about the best place investment of anything in the race, as the favourites seldom run into a place if they cannot win. My final impression is that the race will lay between GRATITUDE, MAIL TRAIN, CALISTA COLT, SUSPICION, and TIIILESTRIS and, in endeavouring to forestall the judge in his decision, I shall place MAIL TRAIN or GRATITUDE 1 CALISTA COLT 2 SUSPICION The Select Stakes will be secured by Cambuscan, and the Beaufort Stakes by Sir Roger. Longdown ought to win the Prendergast, and Fine de l'Air or Mail Train the Derby. A FRESH MAN. CITY BETTING.—TuII DAY.

JUVENILE PICKPOCKETS —William Fisher, aged 16, was charged before Mr Selfe with attempting to pick pockets in High-street, Whitechapol. Policeman Davy, a detective of the H division, No. 169, stated that last night about 10 o'clock he was in High street, Whitechapel, when ho saw a crowd of persons col lected, and among them was the prisoner. Witness saw him go up to a gentleman and take something out of his pocket. Witness immediately seized hold of him, and found a white cambric pocket handkerchief upon him. Mr Selfe (to the prisoner) —What did you do it for ? Policeman—The prisoner said that he took the handler• chief in order to get some money to get a lodging. Witneza saw a little boy with him, whom he appeared to witness to be telling how to pick pockets. Mr Selfe—That is the worst part of the case—trying to teach children to rob. Prisoner was sent for three months to prison. AN UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.—Patrick Tobin, a harness maker, was charged with the following unprovoked assault. Mr. John Nathan, cigar maker, No. 1, New-Road, St. George-in-the-East, stated —That about seven o'clock last night he was in Red Lion-strect, with his wife and family, when the prisoner came hi front of his wife and another female and would not allow them to pass. Witness asked him what he did that for. He immediately gave witness a blow on his mouth with his fist, and knocked off his hat. Mr. Selfe—Did ho hurt you ? Witness—Yes, your worship. Ho made my mouth breed. He tried to strike my wife. Prisoner was fined 103. MR. ALFRED MELLON'S CONCERTS.—Mr. Alfred Mellon's series of Promenade Concerts was brought to a termination on Saturday night with a performance an nounced for the benefit of Mr Alfred Mellon. It will be a atification to the lovers of music to know that the past season has been one of the most successful of the series yet given by Mr Mellon. PROFESSOR ANDERSON'S " WORLD OF MAGIC." —ln accordance with the kind invitation of Professor Anderson —whose astonishing performances as the Great Wiz trd of the age, together with those of his talented daugh ter, Miss Anderson, as th© exponent of the attribute of "'second sight," are attracting such crowded audiences at St. Jsmes's Hall to witness them —the children of the Li censed Victuallers' School, amounting to about 130 boys and girls, visited the great scene of enchantment on Satur day last, and enjoyed a treat which we have no doubt will long live in their recollection as one of the most pleasing and agreeable of its kind that they have ever had an oppor tunity of participating in. ALARMING ACCIDENT FROM CRINOLINE.—Crin °- line accidents are various in character, and the variety is not yet exhausted. The daughters of General M. were making an excursion to Haytor the other day. The carriage was a phaeton, and one of the young ladies was riding on the seat by the aide of the driver. As the horse was "fresh," and required the driver to hold him, the young lady descended to open the gate on the entrance to the plunged his foot h e h h moor, On mounting to t he seat the wind blew her crino ens' d, the horse became crino line against umge te unmanageable, h ihnoe rry.

'We aro requested to give that allegation the most peremptory contradiction on the beet authority, and to state that, though Lord Lyndhurst attended seances from mere curiosity, • • he had not the slightest belief in what is called "spiritualism "7 -Scotsman. MISS FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE AND THE VOLUN TEERS.—Miss Florerce NiOitingalo has written to Sir Harry Verney, MX her brother-in-law, intimating that it is her intention next season to present the 3d Bucks (Buckingham and Winslow) Volunteer Rifle Corps with a piece of plate, to bo competed for upon such terms as they may arrange. Lady Verney, anxious to manifest her interest iri the volunteer movement, has also determined to offer a silver cup annually, to be shot for by members of the same corps. SUICIDE OF GAMBLERS.—The list of suicides at the German gambling hells is this year higher than ever.

THE KING OF OUDE.—The King of Oude is described by the Calcutta Correspondent of the inzes as a ver y disreputable example of the retired monarch, His estate at Garden Reach is in a disgraceful state. The King owes about a million sterling, although for ten years past he had been receiving a revenue of £BO,OOO a-year. Daring the whole of that period he has never moved out side the house but on two occasions, when he went, against his inclination, to the Fort.

Maoe says that 'Mr Brunton never found a shilling,' A truthful state ment of facts will be the best answer to this. I was ap pointed to receive all moneys to be staked on Mace's behalf, and the proof of my having done so is that I still hold the receipts for the money placed in the hands of the stake holder. It is not to be supposed, nor have I ever asserted, that I found him the £630, but I did my best towards it. The sporting gentlemen placed their money in my hands, which I duly forwarded to Bell's Life; and since his letter I have asked several who they were 'standing' money with, and their answer has uniformly been, With you, Brunton.' If I did not actually put the £6OO down for him, it was deposited and raised by and through me. I am sorry to expose that which should have been secret, but in my own defence I must remind Mace that when a forfeit was imminent, and when onlylloo a-side had been posted, I went and made good the £5O on my own responsibility and risk, not knowing if the match had fallen through whether I should get back a farthing. Is this not finding money ? Again, another peril assailed the progress of the match, and sooner than that it should be off, one of Mace's best friends advanced £l5 beyond the £5O he had already given, at my most urgent appeal. Is not this ' finding' or getting' the money ? In the list that gentleman will be found for £95 instead of £5O, These are facts that Mace, or his scribes, cannot gainsay. "And, now, as to the Dublin affair, My leaving him without a shilling is simply false. Mace told me that he had plenty of money to get him to the ring side; be that as it may, I paid the hotel bill, amounting to £l2 113. 61., out of which ill 23. 31, was for himself, Milner, and Mr Montague (Mace's secretary). To say that I left him without a shilling is ungrateful as well as untrue, as I lent, or as I suppose it will prove, gate him £5. When Milner came to the choice of the referee, I certainly would not give the veto out of my hands, having a due regard to those who had found the stakes, and intrusted them in my hands. I named the representative of Bell's Life for referee, and, of course, I oltjected to a Mr Bowler, whom I did not know, who was not present, and when I aske.i to see him he was not forthcoming. " No possibility of the match coming cif , I then said that I had done with the affair, having a proper regard to those gentlemen who had found the money on the understanding that it was for a fair, straightforward contest, and so I left. I did not leave Mace penniless, as I have proved, It was from no wish of mine that he showed in public or ran races with bygone champions. I went from place to place, and did my best to bring (Jr the match. I expended £8 10s. beyond £25 I took with me to forward Mace's interest. This I do not regret, but I think it wrong that truth should be perverted. "Mace says I ' did not find a shilling.' I repeat I hold the vouchers for the whole of the stakes down at Bell' Life; and if any of those gentlemen who have found the money, with myself, do not receive their own again, it will be no fault of " Your obedient servant, "BARRY T. BRUNTON. "Beech-street, Barbican, Oct. 8."

Berl , Member of the Society of Painters in Water Colour F I the subject being " The Lifeboat off Tynemt;ulh Bar." As this admirable coloured illustra tion is one ei the finest pictures cf the lifeboat of the insti tution ever issued , we trust that it will receive a very large circulation, and thus be a permanent memorial of the noble work which is performed in every storm by the gallant fel ows who are ever ready to man our lifeboats. I T LI E GREAT BENEDICTINE MONASTERY of Monte Cassino is true to its glorious literary tradi• tions. Its Scriptorium was the Oxford University Press of the middle ages, and turned out the most beautiful copies of Virgil, Horace, and Livy, as well as of the Missal and Breviary.
